  • awfulshrew sack (@awfulshrew) reported

  • hirschirsch Dylan Hirsch (@hirschirsch) reported

    @KynanJackson @S_M_Bowman @morgs086 It’s on the Overwatch tech note. I suspect there’ll be no issues as long as correct order is followed.

  • jHyelip HyeLip Supremecy (@jHyelip) reported

    random but people who still play #overwatch , complain about it, and still go back to it have serious issues and need help

  • csGOD_keinBot IrgendEinTyp (@csGOD_keinBot) reported

    @jAlexCSGO @hobshytv What is your rank? I had 3 full global/supreme lobbies in a row where at least one player just raged and didn't even try to hide the cheats. As far as I know there was an issue with Overwatch that week, but I stopped playing mm after those matches becuse I was mad, so I don't

  • SwaggyEvan Evan 🙃 (@SwaggyEvan) reported

    Every single time I get hacked in Overwatch I will make a comment about how broken sombra is without fail

  • _JMJoe_ JMJoe (@_JMJoe_) reported

    Ddosing has ruined overwatch for me. Worst part is that most of the ddosers are children who think that they should control who plays the game. Nobody who doesn't ddos thinks it's ok, but of course that's not enough because they nobody ever showed interest in them before ddosing.

  • Pressnia Squatchen🍀 (@Pressnia) reported

    @Mutant_Baby haha I'm excited too Because lots of overwatch for recovery! :) Nah I'm excited for this issue to be fixed, i don't like hearing how painful it is for you :(

  • ReinMain5 ReinMain (@ReinMain5) reported

    Hey Blizzard-in Overwatch reword QP from "Jump into a game against other players of your skill level" to "Jump into a game against other players of ANY skill level". There is absolutely no enjoyment in that mode whatsoever-it's 100% broken. Nice job #OW #Overwatch #Blizzard

  • EUXlAO た⁷ (@EUXlAO) reported

    I cannot believe v*lorant is the bread and butter of todays games it's so boring..if only overwatch didn't get unbelievably broken

  • PshyCover Pshy (@PshyCover) reported

    @yourhedgeh0g They are worse but the problem with overwatch is that it started good and went to **** (talking about community), the others were **** from the start so it is not as big of a problem for me.

  • PshyCover Pshy (@PshyCover) reported

    @yourhedgeh0g @EeveeA_ Let's be honest, they didn't change and won't change until overwatch 2. Why bother fix balancing in a game that will be entirely reworked in around a year? If they are releasing more than 5 heroes on release as they said, anything they do now is a waste of time.

  • znounouSince95 Ron Mexico (@znounouSince95) reported

    @Goodmans_takes I’m guessing he criticized China for one of the many issues they have and then since Overwatch has support from China they bowed down and kicked the guy off?

  • koopup koop (@koopup) reported

    tried loading into overwatch today and got an error. it’s a sign 🙏🏼

  • PatrikLiba1 Patrik Liba (@PatrikLiba1) reported

    @WarcraftMeme Why do you and likes of you assume always it is wow and not others IP is beyond me. There is like WoW making over billion yearly wit CoD and Candy Crash. Then there is Overwatch and Hearthstone others IP get way less devs so max main 3 IP yet wow making records all blame wow smh.

  • Sheppard1211 Sheppard121 (@Sheppard1211) reported

    @Goonzz @TmarTn I don’t think it was as much supply drops as it was weapon variants. People could get the best variant in the game in an hour or you could spend the entire year trying for it. Cosmetics in drops have never been a problem just look at overwatch

  • sarah_saysshit sarah (@sarah_saysshit) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I just bought overwatch and I have a glitch that makes the game unplayable and I can't request support on the website because I'm using an xbox one and I would have to submit diagnostic files.. Help please! @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchTXT

  • spirkzor Nichlas Johannesen (@spirkzor) reported

    @STYKOcsgo Thanks for highlighting this issue. I had a saturday with spinbotters in 7/9 games. It is a bit sad you are forced to Play faceit... It feels like steam are not doing anything to prevent this. Clearly overwatch + vac is not working properly.

  • vansinspace Van San (@vansinspace) reported

    @SlMPPP @darkxotaku @Gale_Adelade The base game has quite alot of content. Games as a service only works if it is monetized properly. I know you have to buy overwatch, but the average spending of the "free to play" games is alot more than the price of overwatch. Plus the larger playerbase because free.

  • OedonChapel esther 🧛🏻‍♀️ (@OedonChapel) reported

    my most recent problem in overwatch is tanks ALWAYS being in my way so i cant see anything and miss all of my shots

  • Kacper06140081 Kacper (@Kacper06140081) reported

    @Ryan95595130 @amusementgfx @CSGO Ur totally dumb if you think that anti cheat is really good. Ur probably ranked somewhere around g1-dmg where cheaters are rather rare due to their fast ranking up. Most of the cheaters nowadays are in global cause of not working overwatch system.

  • Blakemcloughlin Blakeboii12 (@Blakemcloughlin) reported

    @smk_gaming_ @GetGoodGuyYT I would literally redownload bf5 and be overwatch all game long tagging people who seem to be making their way straight towards you so you can always kill them first. Honestly such a sad existence to just go on a game with the only intention to annoy a streamer. Hoping for a fix.

  • ValveSquad void (@ValveSquad) reported

    @TDM_Jesus @sh9ce @hobshytv This is just a bad take honestly, this ss is from january and during that time trust factor was broken as valve admitted it. There are lots of other people with similar screenshots too, alongside with evidence of overwatch being broken

  • camohmp4 Alex | Camoh 月 (@camohmp4) reported

    @Smyfen this is a problem that goes beyond overwatch though i see this issues on pretty much every game that has different roles, people pick their one role and learn just that and then complain about things they dont understand because they only play this one thing

  • KynanJackson Kynan Jackson (@KynanJackson) reported

    @hirschirsch @S_M_Bowman @morgs086 Can you tell me anymore about the overwatch diuron issues. Currently my plan.. have the machine full of water and add overwatch slowly last?

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Dungeon Keeper Mobile is only janky because it has spears and a greatly designed Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle

  • mr___milk MrMilk @ Tales of Arise waiting room (@mr___milk) reported

    @VitoGesualdi I deleted Overwatch forever ago and haven't looked back. It's disappointing that this is still an issue for them but they will get no more of my money at this point.

  • iMrWest West (@iMrWest) reported

    @HiRezStudios Knockoff Overwatch. Servers. Fix. Plz. Ty

  • justviego just viego (@justviego) reported

    @LuluLuvely Launch might have been a bust but this sort of things always happens with any game. Overwatch for example had the exact same issue and also ppl need to leave respawn alone >:(

  • nothingxs ∀ #BlackLivesMatter (@nothingxs) reported

    @Bigproph i had a laptop that was like 1200 that hit 200+ FPS on league and overheated to near death on overwatch do... do you see the problem
